When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Allow Me (Excerpt from Form Me, Fire Me, Fill Me page 86)


I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. —Jeremiah 31:3 NLT


I experienced the pain of your hurt today. I experienced your battered soul over the thing in your life that separates you from my love. Why can't you just let it go? You are like a drowning man, who instead of reaching for the safety of my forgiveness, holds on to sin that will surely drown him. This thing holds you in bondage and keeps you from feeling my love and forgiveness.  Do you love it more than you love me?  There was a time you were so close to me, and needed me. Do you not need me in your life anymore?  I have sent my servants into your life to draw you back to me. I have sent those who love you with my love and speak to you with its truth. They pray for you day and night and will never stop until I am able to reach you again. Please let this go before you become too calloused to my pleading. I love you with my everlasting love and draw you in unfailing kindness. Listen, my child, I'm reaching out to your heart. Return to me. Allow me to love you again.
